Package: installation-reports
Severity: normal
Hello,
I've just installed Debian on a Dell PowerEdge 1950. I however couldn't boot
amd64 images, I had to install it with an i386 image (from which I'm sending
this report, so all details below are about that machine). More details below.

Comments/Problems:
I have tried dd-ing amd64 images (tried DVD-1 and netinst) to my USB stick, but
they wouldn't boot.
The BIOS would show me an option to boot from the stick, but I would only get
the following message: "isolinux.bin missing or corrupted."
When doing exactly the same, but with an i386 image, the BIOS would show me a
different option to boot from the stick: it appears inside an "hdd" submenu,
while with amd64 images, it appears in the main boot menu.
I guess the difference comes from the EFI part of amd64 images, which probably
somehow disturbs the BIOS.
I don't plan to have a look at the source code itself, but I can build test
images and boot the machine with it (it is spare hardware)
